CNN Poll: Joe Biden’s Approval Rating Sinks to Lowest of Presidency

President Joe Biden’s approval rating sunk to its lowest level of his presidency in November, according to a Wednesday CNN poll, fueling the fears of Democrats who worry about Biden’s 2024 electability.

Biden’s approval rating in November was 37 percent, down two points since October and the lowest since he assumed office in 2021, the poll found:

November 2023: 37 percent
October 2023: 39 percent
August 2023: 39 percent
July 2023: 41 percent
December 2022: 46 percent
June 2022: 38 percent
October 2021: 50 percent
March 2021: 51 percent

Joe Biden’s struggling economy, the top issue among voters, is among his greatest vulnerabilities. Biden’s approval rating in November on the economy is the second-lowest of his presidency, at 33 percent, the poll found:

November 2023: 33 percent
October 2023: 36 percent
May 2023: 34 percent
December 2022: 36 percent
June 2022: 30 percent
December 2021: 45 percent
March 2021: 49 percent

Democratic Donor Stops Biden Support Over Israel-Hamas Discontent

President Joe Biden lost the support of a Democratic donor and humanitarian who cited his administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, Politico reported Wednesday.

Amed Khan, who helped fundraise for the president in the 2020 election, is leaving the Biden Victory Fund National Finance Committee, and won’t attend an upcoming donor retreat in Washington, D.C., or holiday events at the White House, according to Politico. Khan was critical of what he views as the administration’s failure to pressure Israel into reducing civilian casualties in Gaza, which he described as “ethnic cleansing on the way to genocide.”

“This is bullshit,” Khan told Politico. “You make moral compromises being involved in politics and ethical shortcuts, but this is just a bridge too far.”

Khan also took aim at Biden for maintaining a close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, according to Politico. The donor hopes the move will draw attention to the issue, and influence other Democrats to rethink how the White House is handling the war.

“I’m without a home at this point politically,” he said. (Read more from “Democratic Donor Stops Biden Support Over Israel-Hamas Discontent” HERE)

Biden Makes Shocking Comment on Ukraine, Border; Gets Nailed on Fib; Seems to Read Teleprompter Direction

Joe Biden said some shocking things on Wednesday, not the least of which was he again called the fact that he interacted with his son’s business associates “lies.”

Biden also spoke at the White House Tribal Nations Summit. Biden being Biden, he tried to pander to the Native Americans saying he wanted to play lacrosse (a sport invented by Native Americans). Among the things he said was that he wanted to play lacrosse, but it was the same season as football so he couldn’t. But as we noted, those sports don’t run in the same season. But there was another problem with Biden’s claim—they didn’t have lacrosse at his high school until 1993.

So what is he saying here? Again something that sounds like a Biden tale that isn’t possible.

He also spoke about Ukraine and the border during remarks at the White House. This is shocking what he says, but liberal media will ignore that he said it and what it means.

He says Republicans trying to hold up funding for Ukraine until he does something to secure our border is holding Ukrainian funding hostage “with their extreme, partisan border policies.” (Read more from “Biden Makes Shocking Comment on Ukraine, Border; Gets Nailed on Fib; Seems to Read Teleprompter Direction” HERE)

‘Bunch of Lies’: Biden Denies Interacting With Hunter’s Business Associates Despite Mountain of New Evidence

President Joe Biden denied that he interacted with his son’s business associates despite a new email search released by the House Ways and Means Committee apparently showing then-Vice President Biden used a pseudonym to exchange more than 50 emails with the individuals.

Mostly during the spring of 2014, Joe Biden conversed with Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden’s business associate and accountant, using an alias, “Robin Ware,” according to an email search released Tuesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. During the time that most of the emails were exchanged, Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, the documents show. When asked about the documents on Wednesday, Biden denounced them as “lies.”

“On Ukraine and also China, there is polling by the Associated Press that shows that almost 70% of Americans, including 40% of Democrats, believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards to your family’s business interests. Can you explain to Americans, amid this impeachment inquiry, why you interacted with so many of your son and brother’s foreign business associates?” New York Post White House correspondent Steven Nelson asked after Biden’s address on support for Ukraine.

“I’m not going to comment on that. I did not. It’s just a bunch of lies,” Biden responded while Nelson tried to ask a follow up.

“I did not. They’re lies,” Biden continued before waving and exiting the Roosevelt room. (Read more from “‘Bunch of Lies’: Biden Denies Interacting With Hunter’s Business Associates Despite Mountain of New Evidence” HERE)

Did Joe Biden Just Admit He’s Only Running in 2024 Because Trump Is?

President Joe Biden told donors in Weston, Massachusetts, Tuesday that if former President Donald Trump were not running for reelection in 2024, he would probably not seek another four years.

Biden suggested in 2019 that he would not run for reelection if he won the 2020 election, but according to his Tuesday remarks, it seems Biden believes he is the only Democrat who can defeat Trump.

“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” Biden said, adding that Democrats “cannot let him [Trump] win.”

Biden also tried to claim that Trump’s 2024 agenda, such as curtailing the administrative state or cutting red tape to energy independence, is dangerous.

“Trump’s not even hiding the ball anymore. He’s telling us what he’s going to do. He’s making no bones about it,” Biden said, CNN reported. (Read more from “Did Joe Biden Just Admit He’s Only Running in 2024 Because Trump Is?” HERE)

Newly Released Emails Reveal Joe Biden Used Pseudonym in Over 50 Exchanges with Hunter Biden’s Business Associate

Then-Vice President Joe Biden apparently used a pseudonym to exchange more than 50 emails with one of Hunter Biden’s business associates, newly released emails show.

Joe Biden sent 54 private emails to Hunter Biden’s close business associate and accountant, Eric Schwerin, by using the “Robin Ware” alias, according to an email search released Tuesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. The email data was provided to the committee by IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who testified Tuesday behind closed doors alongside IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.

Many of Joe Biden’s email conversations with Schwerin happened around spring 2014, when Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, the documents show.

Before Joe Biden went to Ukraine in June 2014, he emailed Schwerin five times, and afterwards the pair emailed 27 times, according to the Ways and Means Committee. The sitting vice president traveled to Ukraine again in November 2014, when he was the Obama administration’s point man on Ukraine issues.

Why Nikki Haley Would Be a Disastrous Choice for the GOP

It seems that former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is bounding ahead in a hypothetical matchup with Joe Biden. Although Haley has not been able to make significant headway against Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who is now polling over 60% as his party’s preferred presidential candidate in the primaries, Haley would beat Biden by the largest margin among active Republican candidates — possibly by as much as 10 points. . .

Haley has been doing her publicity with massive assistance from the Republican-neoconservative establishment. The Wall Street Journal has all but endorsed her already. The New York Post and the rest of the Murdoch media empire can’t say enough nice things about her. In fact, they can’t mention her without lapsing into spasms of rapture while railing against Trump.

I recently listened to a conversation on Fox News between former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Republican consultant Karl Rove. It was hard to tell which mood was more dominant in this animated conversation: profound loathing for Trump or blissful adoration of Haley. The two dispositions usually coexist in Haley’s fans, who view her as the top-drawer candidate for anti-Trump Republicans. . .

The coup is being engineered with noticeable support from socially liberal business tycoons and Democratic donors who support a neocon foreign policy coupled with corporate tax cuts. (What else is new?) Haley’s campaign is starting to look like a takeover by wealthy members of the center left.

It’s also hard not to notice that Haley has spent years giving herself a biographical and ideological makeover. Although she started out politically as a white Southern Evangelical of Indian ancestry, in recent years, she has dwelled on her traumatic youth as “a little brown girl” whose Sikh father wore a turban and tried to preserve his Indian identity. Haley also went from honoring her South Carolina background to more recently criticizing her one-time white neighbors as bigots. (Ironically, those white neighbors belonged to the group that gave her a majority of their votes.) (Read more from “Why Nikki Haley Would Be a Disastrous Choice for the GOP” HERE)

Biden’s Efforts to Wreak Havoc on Russia Seem to Have Failed Miserably

The Biden administration’s efforts to destabilize Russia’s economy and damage the Kremlin’s public approval have not materialized, according to a review of multiple sources.

The United States, the European Union (E.U.), the United Kingdom (U.K.) and other Western allies have taken several steps to undermine public opinion in Moscow and throttle Russia’s economy following the country’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. However, Russia’s economy is recovering – despite forced isolation from the West – and Moscow appears to have retained the trust of its citizens as the war against Ukraine continues, according to a review of several sources.

Following the beginning of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, many Western nations introduced or inflated sanctions against Russia and its citizens, resulting in over $300 billion in Russian banking assets being frozen as of October, according to the European Council. The Biden administration continues to enforce its sanctions against Russia to hold it “accountable for its war of aggression,” and Congress has also approved roughly $100 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war started.

“Imagine what happens if we, in fact, unite all of Europe, and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is finally put down where he cannot cause the kind of trouble he’s been causing,” President Joe Biden said in October on “60 Minutes.” “We have enormous opportunities, enormous opportunities to make it a better world.”

Muslim American Leaders in Swing States Vow to Defeat Biden in 2024

Muslim American leaders from swing states launched the #AbandonBiden campaign on Saturday, vowing to defeat President Joe Biden in 2024 due to his unwillingness to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

During a press conference in Michigan, about a dozen leaders from swing states Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania vowed not to vote for him, accusing him of abandoning Muslim Americans who helped him win in 2020.

“Muslim Americans have come together finally to state in completely clear terms that the position of the Biden administration … is a red line for all Muslim Americans,” said Hassan Abdel Salam, leader of the #AbandonBiden National Coalition and assistant professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota.

While some of the leaders delivered a warning to Biden to change his stance, others said he had already lost their votes.

“You won by 20,000 votes. We will change the vote. We will swing it and we won’t be standing with you this upcoming election,” Tarek Amin from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, said. (Read more from “Muslim American Leaders in Swing States Vow to Defeat Biden in 2024” HERE)

Millions of Foreign-Born Citizens Have Flooded Into the U.S. Since Biden, Highest Percentage in Nation’s History

The Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS) shows that the total foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) was 49.5 million in October 2023 — a 4.5 million increase since President Biden took office and a new record high. At 15 percent, the foreign-born share of the U.S. population is also the highest ever recorded in American history. As the debate rages over the ongoing border crisis, this finding is important because administrative numbers such as border encounters or even legal immigrant arrivals do not measure the actual size of the immigrant population, which is what ultimately determines immigration’s impact on the country.

Among the findings:

In October 2023, the CPS shows that 15 percent of the U.S. population is now foreign-born — higher than any U.S. government survey or census has ever recorded.

The 49.5 million foreign-born residents (legal and illegal) in October 2023 is also a new record high.
Since President Biden took office in January 2021, the foreign-born population has grown by 4.5 million — larger than the individual populations of 25 U.S. states.

Based on our prior estimates of illegal immigrants, more than half (2.5 million) of the 4.5 million increase in the foreign-born population since January 2021 is likely due to illegal immigration. If adjusted for those missed by the survey, the increase would be larger.

The 4.5 million increase overall and the 2.5 million increase in illegal immigrants are both net figures. The number of new arrivals was significantly higher, but was offset by outmigration and natural mortality among the foreign-born already here.

The foreign-born population has grown on average by 137,000 a month since President Biden took office, compared to 42,000 a month during Trump’s presidency before Covid-19 hit, and 68,000 a month during President Obama’s two terms.

The scale of immigration is so high that it appears to have made the new Census Bureau population projections, published on November 9 of this year, obsolete. The bureau projected that the foreign-born share was not supposed to hit 15 percent until 2033.

The largest percentage increases since January 2021 are for immigrants from South America (up 28 percent); Central America (up 25 percent); Sub-Saharan Africa (up 21 percent); the Caribbean (up 20 percent); and the Middle East (up 14 percent).
